Sneaky SLOB to set up your best shooter 🎯

1 & 3 flow the action towards the middle to set up the back side stagger

A lob is one of the more efficient ways to attack zone

It's usually a combination of cuts and/or screens occupy the zone defenders

As you can see, two screens are chosen method in this particular set

"12" | Ball Screen Continuity against a 2-3 zone

The corner touch is a reset for the offense, creating the continuity to ball screen the return pass out of the corner

How to use off-ball screens 101:

- Read defender's positioning (top lock, trailing, cheating screen?)
- Change speeds/pace
- Use deception (eyes, fake one way to cut the other)
- Come tight off screens (shoulder-to-shoulder, foot-to-foot)
- Be ready to shoot (attack) on catch

Great stuff here

Weave ➡️ Backdoor

Notice how the “shallow cut” shifts the corner defender from two passes away to one pass away to set up the backdoor cut

The back side defender in a 1-3-1 half court trap MUST position to take away the skip lob to the rim

Behind that, they drive on any floated passes for steals

You always wanna have a couple "back pocket" BLOB specials for the exact right moment

Tandem 2-3 Zone

The wing closes long and hard to take away the three-point shot and deter the corner pass

Funneling penetration back to the middle so everything has to go over top of x5
